How is your injection day going?

Wherever you are with it. Dread and boredom are both normal answers. — asked by Esi

OssianTromsø, NO

Wrote three questions down for Thursday. I have never once remembered them otherwise.

Tarq That is a lot to be holding. I hope somebody is asking about you.

NilsUppsala, SE

Two lines a day in a paper diary. That is my entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision.

5

GillyWorcester, UK

Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than the calendar. Solved a problem I had felt guilty about for months.

6

Perrin Sitting with you on that.

OrrinGlasgow, UK

Tested a cool bag against a thermometer for eleven hours because I am that person. It held.

TeganNewport, UK

Cancelled two things so that Thursday is empty. That is the practical win.

4

BirdieMargate, UK

Made a flowchart for my own appeal. I am aware this is a coping mechanism. It also worked.

GwynethAberdare, UK

Booked the appointment I have been avoiding since March.

New sharps bin and a plan for what happens to it when I move.

8

Ambrose You are allowed to notice how far you have come.

HarriSwansea, UK

Sorted the paperwork for the appeal into one folder in order. It took an evening and it has saved me weeks.

Obie Congratulations on the boring Wednesday.

SaoirseKilkenny, IE

Set a repeating alarm for the injection so it stops being a decision.

NedChesterfield, UK

SadieSalford, UK

Labelled the freezer boxes with what is in them and how I felt when I made them.

Found out my plan actually covers this, after a year of assuming it did not.
